DM-307 for Ableton is a collection of production-ready drum racks, loops, and one-shots in a variety of contemporary musical styles; including electronic, hip hop, industrial, ethnic, rock and cinematic. The packs contain content derived directly from Heavyocity's award-winning DM-307: Modern Groove Designer which was developed through experimental recording, sound design, and synthesis techniques, resulting in a highly-stylized collection of modular synth drums, live percussion, and processed classic analog drum machines.

Classic Analog Drums

DM-307 provides Heavyocitys signature Music-meets-sound-design approach on the highly sought after sounds of classic analog drum machines. Sounds were captured using pristine analog gear like the Neve, Wunder, and Chandler mic pres, and then processed with outboard gear from UA, Eventide, Dramastic Audio, and Dangerous Audio. The results are punchy, crisp and dynamic, providing serious character to the sounds.

Modular Synth Drums

Aggressive, Fat, and In Your Face - DM-307 contains the uncompromising sound of true analog percussion. All of these exceptional sounds stem from using complex synthesis techniques with unique custom modular synth rigs. Using an array of modules including VCOs, Vactrol Filters, Vacuum Tube Compressors, Vacuum-tube distortion, and Analog Bit Designers, all sound shaping took place completely within the analog synthesis realm, custom designing sounds from the ground up.
